Bagels Restaurants in New York, NY

“I like their bagels but their prices for everything else are quite inflated. They charge almost forty dollars for a pound of whitefish salad. So I buy bagels there and food elsewhere.“

“Probably the most special place to me in NYC. I love the bagel menu (super heebster forever), the atmosphere, and the workers. There’s nothing quite like taking a number, browsing the desserts, and squeezing into the shop between all kinds of humans. Russ & Daughters exemplifies what NYC is to me. 🩵“

“Amazing staff, amazing food (better than my bubbies, but don’t tell her) absolutely loved it!!“

“The best bagels hands down! This has become our "go to" stop each time we pass through NY for bagels. Great customer service. We can call ahead and they have the order ready for our multiple (and large) family order with everything perfect! Super helpful and also help with bringing the many bags out to the car! So much appreciation! Thanks guys! Can't wait to see you again!“

“My first visit to NY. Heard good things about this place as it was ideally located next to our hotel. Food was fresh, service excellent and made to feel very welcome by the staff. It was a truly NY experience. Kind regards to the staff from your friends from London.“

“Delicious bagels and schmear!!“

“You might wait a while, but your stomach will thank you. These people work hard and it shows in the products they produce.“

“Yes please to all of it! We love this place.“

“you have to try the dill pickle schemer“

“Just saw a Tik Tok where the staff went out of their way to put up a ramp to accommodate a gentleman who is a wheelchair user. Good on ya, guys! 🙌 Kindness matters! 🤍“

“A true “holy grail” of bagel shops. Their menu is the perfect balance of the classic NYC bagels we know and love, but with some newer flavor combos added to the menu that make eating here both nostalgic and exciting. The Presto Pesto is one of my favorite sandwiches in the city. Make sure you try their chocolate muffins as well. While it can get busy, the staff are friendly and attentive.“

“Thank you Brooklyn Bagel for an amazing luncheon after my son’s Bar Mitzvah!! You were so easy to work with and everything was so good! I highly recommend your catering services!!“

“Amazing bagels and spreads! Sam’s the black and white cookies! We had v one and then made a second trip back to get the more!“

“Fresh bagels, hand rolled and made onsite. Can’t beat the selection. I thought it would be a tourist trap due to its location, but it beat every other shop we tried.“

“This bustling bagel shop packs people in and out for big delicious bagel sandwiches. Midtown prices are no objects for those lining up for all flavors and coffee, probably because the bagels are big and delicious and the line moves efficiently. It’s a real New York feeling, tourists and all, with a combination of all ages and backgrounds ready for the classic breakfast take.

I had the smoked salmon special on everything untoasted, scooped with scallion cream cheese. It was great - the ultra thin cucumbers meshed so well with the tomato. Untoasted came out faster, too; I walked out faster than I thought.

It’s busy as heck, so enter and move to the left for the line. There are menus you can grab and read as you move.

There are a few small tables in the back. Super well run by experienced staff.“

“The food and service is always on point. I live in Brooklyn but love to stop here whenever I’m in the city or when I’m showing visitors around. I’ve had the avocado toast, the rueben benedict (a must), salmon benedict and the ranchero (brisket dish) and it all hits!! I have yet to try the lunch menu but it’s just the perfect breakfast spot. Coffee is always great too. Just consistently good food and such warm friendly service.“

“We visited B&B on 2nd ave bagels from Arizona and we wanted a quick bagel sandwich. Let me tell you these bagels were amazing! The employees were so friendly, my son dropped his sandwich outside and they even offered to replace it (he was almost done).“

“the food is delicious, the service and efficiency is on point! For NYC these prices are very affordable!“

“Was visiting NYC and we found this place by accident, so happy we did! The staff were very nice and professional. The food was delicious, and the bagels were massive! The shop was clean and had a nice seating area. Would definitely visit again!“

“the best of everything!! I so love 5his place! i'ts just what king needed!!🥰“

“Excellent breakfast choice in FiDi at the East end of Wall Street. Modern interior, spacious seating and a big breakfast menu featuring bagels, salads, eggs, fresh squeezed orange juice, sandwiches, and they get a huge plus for having turkey bacon. The restaurant was immaculately clean and the food fresh. I wish they toasted my bagel more and it wasn't the best bagel ever for NY but very good nonetheless. Highly recommended ‼️“

“AWwsome Begel ,great place .. we are out of town or‘s and we were looking for a authentic bagel place and you hit the mark it was amazing when we get back here we will check you out again the staff was wonderful very friendly and helpful our bellies were happy😁“

“I was visiting and asked someone on the street where I could grab a bagel and they directed me to Bagel Bob’s. So thankful they did. Best bagels, incredible people, generous friendly caring family people. They greeted me warmly every day, remembered what we talked about the day before, asked about my day and seemed genuinely interested. This was my first solo trip and they made me feel right at home. And a beautiful plant showed up on my last day which was lovely. I’ll definitely be staying in this neighborhood the next time I’m visiting but daily breakfast here just isn’t enough. I’m about to get a bagel sandwich to take to the airport with me with the homemade black and white they generously gave me on the house. Top notch place food and people. You won’t regret the trip here.“

“The bagel is very chewy, so if that is what you're looking for, give Apollos a try. Small menu makes for easy ordering, and the bagels are fresh! I prefer the tomato and cream cheese on an everything, it's bright from the tomato and creamy from the cheese. Can't go wrong.“

“Number 1 in my own personal world since 1994!!! The best and they never disappoint!!“

“The most delicious bagel I have ever eaten! Cream cheese with pistachios and raisins. Thank you!“

“Classic neighborhood staple. Been having the ham and egg since I was a kid. The two man team behind the counter can make you a sandwich in about 2-3 mins so if you’re running late for the F train you can still get a solid (and cheap) breakfast. The ice coffee is pretty good for deli coffee as well (ask for 1/2 sugar with vanilla!)“

“I just couldn’t understand how a simple bagel could be this heavenly delicious??? Had to visit Apollo Bagel at least one time every time im here in NY. Tried the flavors and my personal fav is the tomato cream cheese with everything bagel!! Don’t be fooled by its simpleness, as the bagel itself, the crispness, the salt flake, the tomato, the cream cheese, the seasoning..everything is just absolutely wonderfully made! But what stood out to me the most is its crispness. ✨🤌🏻 Idk what they did to make it that crispy and crunchy but OMG if this is not heaven, idk what is. I’ll be missing Apollo when I get back and looking forward to my next visit!!“

“We spent a week in New York, and every single morning started with a bagel from Bagel Express. It quickly became our daily routine. Hands down, these were the best bagels I’ve ever had.

Not only are the bagels amazing, but the coffee is great as well, and the service is friendly and efficient. Everything about this place made our mornings better.

I would highly recommend Bagel Express to anyone visiting New York!“

“A very positive experience. We had breakfast here several times while our stay in New York. They have a wide selection of bagels and fillings. The service is fast and friendly. You can take it to go or eat it right there. A great way to start the day.“

“Broadway Bagel is good for a lot of things but it's better to tell you what its not good for because it's smaller. their pastrami, very chewy & fatty. I got a wrap & was horrible because I was fighting with the pastrami to bite off a piece & then getting fat in your mouth is disgusting. At times when I get a breakfast sandwich with bacon it's like that's when they choose to hide fatty bacon instead of giving you well cooked bacon. How does an establishment do that to their customers? The tuna wrap w/ French fries, I usually order but now they're adding lettuce when before it was onions & avocado now they're putting celery & adding lettuce. why did they mess with such a great sandwich? Certain staff I work with like their blueberry pancakes, homefries, BLT. But like I said too many times I bought a BLT & it was filled with a lot of fatty bacon. I look at my food before I eat it. They used to have different flavors of OJ, Mango/Pineapple, Strawberry/Banana/Orange, but now all they have is regular OJ. They're changing how they made stuff and they changed the working crew so all I can say is I mostly get breakfast. It's hit & Miss for a lot of things because I like my food the way anyone having a business should make the food for their customers; with love & as best as possible.“

“Definately my favourite bagel place in the neighborhood. I tried both take out and dine in. The quality of the food is great, tons of cream cheese options! the restaurant has a few tables, they are quite small. It gets BUSY quickly, so finding a spot in rush hours isn't always easy. I've seen the line wrapping around the corner but they are also very fast.
They have another location as well in UWS, and I once placed my order for pickup in the wrong location and they managed it internally and still gave me my lunch. Absolutely love this place.“

“LOVE...LOVE...this place..the people are AMAZING !!Smiles all around.. They always welcome me with open arms.. The BEST DAMN TEAM I HAVE EVER SEEN..They work together very well...I SEE THEM EVERY DAY WORKING THERE BUTTS OFF....The line is always out the door....BUT They move very fast!!!!
Guys I love you from the bottom of my BELLY ...LOL....AND HEART...“

“Awesome bagels! Their breakfast sandwiches are amazing!“

“Bagel Belly serves perfectly chewy, fresh, and full of flavor bagels city can offer. The store is always clean, and the vibe is welcoming. On top of that, the staff is incredibly kind and efficient, making the whole experience even better. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this spot is a must. Highly recommend!“

“Amazing place. Our favorite in NYC. Great food. Wonderful people.“

“Essa is my new go to when it comes to sending a taste of New York as a thank you. All 3 of my orders arrived quickly, were fresh as can be and got rave reviews from Oklahoma, California and Kansas. The flavored cream cheese in particular was mentioned as amazing. Thank you Essa Bagel and thanks also to Goldbelly for spreading good food and good cheer!“

“My onion bagel with lox and light scallion cream cheese was delicious and very filling. The girl at the register was awesome and the honey-vanilla-hazelnut latte she suggested was 10/10. Just a few spots for sitting but there’s a pleasant little fountain and garden area nearby with benches that you can rest at.“

“Leon’s Bagels has been kind enough to gift Zeta Tau Alpha at NYU bagels, and the experience with them has been incredible. From packaging to taste, they truly go above and beyond.
The bagels come in beautiful checkered boxes that are perfect for delivery and make the whole experience feel special and elevated. The boxes are sturdy and high quality, which not only keeps everything fresh but also makes opening them feel like a treat.
The owners are some of the kindest and most helpful people to work with, and coordinating pickup could not be smoother. The bagels were prepared on time, packaged perfectly, and the whole process was so easy.
The bagels themselves were incredibly fresh and delicious, with jumbo bagels included so there were plenty for everyone - and enough for each sister to have a couple. Everyone was raving about how good they were, and the scallion cream cheese was gone within minutes because it was such a hit.
Leon’s Bagels is genuinely one of the best spots we’ve worked with: fantastic quality, amazing service, and a truly thoughtful experience from start to finish. We are so thankful for their generosity and can’t wait for our next bagel-filled sisterhood morning. If you need Bagels for a big event, YOU MUST GO TO LEONS!!“

“Tried Street Bites NYC today during my lunch break and it was so good! The meat was incredibly flavorful and tasted really fresh, super tender and perfectly seasoned. The bowl was packed with flavor and the sauces tied everything together really well.

The service was amazing too! The man working there was extremely kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better.

Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the area. I’ll be coming back for sure!“

“Great place, delicious food but standing in line with the sun beating down on you is unbearable and also I wanted juice but the sun was also beating down on the fruit and veggies no thank you.“

“I ordered a bronx bomer and I was not disappointed. It was well cooked and filled with so much flavor. The chicken was very crispy and all the ingredients worked together. The staff there is helpful and efficient. I would definitely recommend.“

“It was afternoon and I was looking for a bagel place, ChatGPT recommended this place near by my location and it was a great recommendation. I had the simple cream cheese bagel with avocado and it was perfect, tasty, fresh and the portions were amazing. Prices were so good. Tried then the hit chocolate and it was good too.“
